Field Notes

Description:

small epiphytic orchid

Habitat:

tropical rainforest

Notes:

Lowland rainforests, like Bogani Nani Wartabone national park, aren't usually great places for orchids, but this park was an exception. I found 3 orchids in flower along the trail and plus an amazing 5 species in flower on a recently fallen over tree.
